Elderly woman prays to League of Legends character after mistaking it for a deity
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
An elderly woman in China is quickly becoming a meme for League of Legends fans after someone in an Internet cafe posted photos of her praying to a statue of Garen on the sidewalk.
The photo, which was posted to the Chinese social network Weibo, has attracted attention from fans around the world. It’s funny, but also kind of sweet. Many believe that the statue of Garen bears a strong resemblance to Lord Guan, a legendary Chinese general -- which would explain the adoration.
Of course, there’s a possibility we’re all reading this wrong. The woman could totally main Garen and know exactly who he is. She could just be praying to the Riot gods that he’s not nerfed in the next patch so she can keep pub stomping fools.
